PyCon South Africa & sprint

Hi all,

For those of you that happen to be from South Africa: don't miss
PyCon ZA 2013, next October 3rd and 4th!
Like last year, a few of us will be there. There will be the first talk
about STM getting ready (a
blog post about that should follow soon).

Moreover, general sprints will continue on the weekend (5th and 6th).
Afterwards, Fijal will host a longer PyPy sprint (marathon?) with me
until around the 21th. You are welcome to it as well! Write to the mailing list or to fijal directly (fijall
at gmail.com), or simply in comments of this post.

I'm very excited to try it out soon. I was wondering, would it not be useful to try and get the "with atomic" statement at the very least working on regular CPython? (just operating on the GIL, or simulated with a lock). This could smooth over migration somewhat?

Also, thanks for your live demo of cffi, It is so much simpler than ctypes :-)
